$A$ constant potential difference is applied between the ends of a wire. If the length of the wire is elongated to $4$ times its original length,then the drift velocity of electrons will be:

When a long straight uniform rod is connected across an ideal cell, the drift velocity of electrons in it is $v$. If a uniform hole is made along the axis of the rod and the same battery is used, then the drift velocity of electrons becomes

$A$ current of $5 \,A$ is passing through a metallic wire of cross-sectional area $4 \times 10^{-6} \,m^{2}$. If the density of charge carriers of the wire is $5 \times 10^{26} \,m^{-3}$, the drift velocity of the electrons will be:

The drift velocity of electrons for a conductor connected in an electrical circuit is $V_{d}$. The conductor is now replaced by another conductor of the same material and same length but with double the area of cross-section. The applied voltage remains the same. The new drift velocity of electrons will be

Though the electron drift velocity is small and electron charge is very small, a conductor can carry an appreciably large current because
